Atom and XMPP based team collaboration and communication platform

2 weeks back I started working on a web development project as my weekend project to experiment on Atom & XMPP. Later I was confident to forward-factor the experimentation to a real-valued project that I was thinking for a long time - a seamless team collaboration and communication platform. All the communication and collaboration can be done from just a single page.

The business driver behind the idea:

Single page team collaboration suite

Project status, stories and discussions are on the live dashboard – real-time, editable, provokes participation

Developer friendly way of on-time reporting (consolidation is automatic) – just by setting the status message of your messenger/communicator

Chat on the page

Real time discussion on the dashboard – makes other people aware about others activities and provokes for participation. Imagine 2 guys discussing about Hibernate and is on the show on dashboard – can you take a seat back and just ignore it?

Assign, track and manage tasks – all online

Manage contacts – nothing new but can’t live without it

Call contacts

Reduces the need for email exchange – emails are difficult to track

Open cultured team collaboration with improved communication

You are always aware what is happening in your team - no matter who are you (although access rights can be implemented)
